Migraine has been associated with specific vestibular disorders, including benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood and recurrent in adults. may also play a role chronic nonspecific vestibulopathy. Because scant data exist that describe the clinical findings function abnormalities suspected migraine-related vestibulopathy, we reviewed history, physical examination, tests (electronystagmography, rotational chair, posturography), response to treatment 100 patients diagnoses Dominant features...

The pathophysiological mechanism underlying benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is related to free-floating debris/otoliths in the semicircular canal (canalolithiasis) or attached cupula (cupulolithiasis). These are considered originally accumulate after detachment from neuroepithelium of utricular macula secondary a type degeneration. An idiopathic form, which assumed occur spontaneously, diagnosed when causative pathology obscure. However, an association between various other...

The primary goals of preoperative embolization glomus tumors are to reduce the blood loss in surgical field, minimize risk operative complications, and prevent recurrence by contributing complete resection. Obliteration a vascular channel may provide additional help symptomatic relief decreasing tumor volume. Selective transarterial embolotherapy outcomes 17 patients, most whom had inoperable were unable have surgery/radiotherapy because poor general health, evaluated investigate therapeutic...

The object of this study was to compare the expression epidermal growth factor, interleukin-1alpha, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in chronic otitis media with or without cholesteatoma.It has been reported that cytokines factor are effective bone resorption process media. Bone can also occur cholesteatoma. However, comparative analysis is lacking. This issue investigated a blind, controlled prospective analysis.The activities factor-alpha, were determined by commercially available...

Objective To present the characteristics of facial paralysis caused by chronic otitis media. The role cholesteatoma, bony dehiscence, duration disease, and results surgical therapy in were reviewed. Study Design Retrospective case review. Setting Tertiary care referral center. Patients A total 24 patients (6 women, 18 men; age range, 17–74 yr) with included study. Intervention Canal wall down mastoidectomy was performed 14 (58.3%), modified radical seven (25%), intact canal three (16.7%)....

Accidental injury to the facial nerve where bony canal defects are present may result with dysfunction during otological surgery. Therefore, it is critical know incidence and type of dehiscences in presence normal development canal. The aim this study review site such 144 patients operated for paralysis, myringoplasty, stapedotomy, middle ear exploration sudden hearing loss, so forth, other than chronic suppurative otitis media or without cholesteatoma, tumors, anomaly. Correlation...

Background: The incidence of temporal bone fractures have increased in recent decades together with the increasing traffic and population. aim this study is to evaluate cause, treatment methods, radiologic, intraoperative findings patients fractures. Methods: Thirty-five fracture who been followed between 1992 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Computerized tomography audiometric tests obtained. Electrophysiological evaluation facial nerve traumatic paralysis was carried by serial...

We sought to compare the long-term functional results of tympanic membrane reconstruction with temporalis fascia and cartilage shield grafting.This study includes 113 patients who had tympanoplasty type I between 1997 2007, 47 tragal 66 fascia. Fourteen in group 9 also mastoidectomy. The average follow-up was 3.2 years. hearing threshold calculated as mean value thresholds for 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 Hz. A paired-samples t-test used comparison preoperative postoperative air bone conduction...

Objective: Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) selectively test the vestibular end-organ. The aim of this study was to analyze how site diseased canal, type particulate deposition, duration symptoms, severity nystagmus, recurrence, and age affect VEMP in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: One hundred two were enrolled between 2009 2012. There 36 men 66 women ages ranging from 16 71 years (mean age, 42.28 ± 11.29 years). Patients BPPV tested roll-on...

Hearing impairment has been reported to be one of the late complications diabetes mellitus (DM), and frequency varies. Previous data suggest that auditory brainstem potentials deteriorate long before hearing appears in patients with DM. Delay neural conductance along pathway due DM was assessed by means response (ABR) 43 normal a controlled study. Patients were classified according age, presence neuropathy. metabolic control, duration type ABR recordings revealed absolute latencies waves I,...

The current treatment method for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is surgical repair of the fistula. aim this study was to analyse different approaches used CSF regarding several preoperative and postoperative variables determine optimal in these patients. Patients' charts were retrospectively reviewed get required data. Twenty-six patients who underwent types approach included study. Patients had extensive comminuted fractures anterior cranial base additional brain injury besides...

ABSTRACTA certain number of patients with elongated styloid process may not have the classic cervicofacial complaints which were originally described by W. Eagle in 1937. Some those cases who radiologic evidence are symptom free and can be accepted as normal anatomical variants. On other hand, some symptomatic present uncommon neurologic signs misdiagnosed or infectious disease. Sometimes, presence an cause clinician to miss another pathology. Therefore, it is essential for aware clinical...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign developmental disorder of the bone. Ten percent patients with monostotic fibrous have craniofacial bone involvement. Twenty-six were followed up at Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology, Head Neck Surgery Departments between 1990 2004. The surgery was performed in 14 considerable cosmetic functional disturbance. Twelve who had mild pain mass site lesion up. Cosmetic results, symptom analysis, frequency involvement reviewed compared previous series. Cranial including...

This study presents a comparative analysis of current surgical approaches for the treatment nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, including extension tumors, postoperative morbidity, complications, and recurrence rate. Twenty-four patients who underwent surgery with diagnosis juvenile angiofibroma at our department between 1993 2003 were retrospectively reviewed according to their clinical presentation, approaches, prognosis. Radkowski staging scale was used tumors. The transpalatal approach in 10...
